Rapoport: Wentz tears ACL Per Eagles HC **merged**

[LandryFan]

Hey, I give the guy credit. He tore it and barely flinched - Jordy Nelson had a similar reaction. Watch some ACL tears on Youtube and you'd swear that some guys are being waterboarded with McDonald's drive-thru coffee.

 

[Staubacher]

Sorry for Wentz the person but I had to endure years of Eagles fans mocking Romo whenever he got injured, calling into question his sexuality, etc. They cheered Michael Irvin's near paralysis.

So I hope they enjoy their tears-steak sandwiches.

How does it feel now Eagles fans? Trashy fanbase. Hope you enjoy.

Oh well......couldn't have happened ot a better fanbase. To the fake Cowboy fans who are Wentz fans on here? Risen? Among others? Sorry for your loss. Well...no I'm not. Good luck next season.

 

[ShortRound]

I didn't know Wentz enough to hate him yet.

Eagles, on the other hand.

They deserve it.

Why? It's not like they lost a running back. Now that would be the end of their season.....

Because i dont have to worry about foles running for a 1st down on 3rd and 12.

This is actually good news. No contact injury. Maybe he's got weak ligaments.

Nah. Most ACL injuries are without contact. It has to do with hyperextending the knee of the planted foot.

Cowboys won. I got lovins last night. The eagles lost their QB.

Yesterday was a good day.

 

[DenCWBY]

I respect and appreciate the player but hate the team/fans esp. when they applauded Michael Irvin's career ending neck injury in their stadium. Classless chumps.

 

[pugilist]

love it for the Eagles fanbase, cry Eagles cry!
hate it for Wentz, seems like a good, upstanding person

 

[pugilist]

nevermind, i rewatched the play: #26 of the Rams puts his shoulder into Wentz's thigh

They are saying he tore it before he was hit. When he planted to run. Looks innocuous on replay but the word up here is it was injured when he planted to run. Some whispers as Risen noted, that he might have some ligament issues long term as the twisting effect that tore the ACL didn't look that bad.

Either way, most QBs are not the same the year after an ACL injuries. See: Teddy Bridgewater,

Mobility -wise sure but his head and arm are the same. Can't see it being that much of a detriment to his ability to scramble anyway, the main thing is that he is probably more likely to have it happen again in the future.

i have the same emotions/feelings Philly fans had when Irvin went down. F Philly

 

[MRV52]

I hate the NFC east teams with a passion, but I would never wish for injury on any player. In the end it is only a FRIGGEN game and nothing more. Wentz is a good guy wish him the best and speedy recovery.

it was easier with McFlabb as he was a bum anyway.

Wentz appears to be a real good kid. Sucks for him; love the Philthy suffering
